This plugin does okay… It does what it asked to do automatically.. just not too good. My main concerns are as follows:

– In CJ, almost all coupons have an image. this plugin does not include those images. I doubt also purchasing the coupon image plugin would do this either
– Many times I find that the store URL does not include my affiliate link and has to be manually added. If its not there, it defaults to just the regular link without my affiliate link
– Most things are not considered coupons but promotions even if it has a coupon code in the text. But I am assuming that has more to do with how the company classifies the promo

It really has saved me time and made me some money. I just feel like the plugin could do a better job.

This plugin is ok, seems to work. However, there is still a lot of additional manual tweaking required to get coupons right. I don’t think this tool is adding much value, as it only works for one Affiliate program. I’ve only managed to get about 100 coupons added from CJ, and that’s after applying to hundreds of merchandisers – and most of these have missing or bad data, including missing images, coupon codes, inadequate descriptions.
Perhaps if it interfaced to a broader selection of Affiliate programs, and resulted in a better quality coupon, it may be worth paying for.

If i purchase this plugin, can i have specific coupons and deals loaded to it automatically in differet menus? Eg having a menu for free shipping, webhosting etc and coupons or deals that are free shipping etf will automatically be loaded to this area while all others go to the regular coupon area? Would also want deals/promotions offers to go to a specific menu, tht is all offers that don’t have a coupon code

Thanks just read it. I was eager to buy the cj plugin but think i will reconsider. reason being is of the coupons codes not being where it should be but in the description. WOuld buy linkshare as base on what I see with linkshare when I click on the code I will see the code but there merchants are much less than cj.

can you tell me when you guys will have shareasale? also if I buy the framer for clipper will it show cj codes in the frame?

Hi the plugin is not currently importing coupons from CJ though last year it worked with my other site on test basis. I tried this now with Clipper 1.6 and later with 1.5. Then I tried the ‘import coupons now’ option and getting this message – CJ 0 coupons have been imported.
I have also tested API access and seems it is valid – Your CJ developer API access keys are valid.

Hi,
Yes, both plugins “Commission Junction Publisher” & “CJ Affiliate Coupons” has an option to refine importing offers to only from joined advertisers… so only offers that you will receive commission will be imported.

Generally plugins are very similar, so please compare features list… sorry for being not too specific, but I’m the owner of one of this plugins, so saying that one or the other is better would be unfair 😉

You have left the same comment of few different plugins… don’t you think it’s strange all of them stopped to work at the same time?!
Have you changed something recently on your website, or maybe you changed hosting provider, or something else?
Have you reported problem on support forum describing issue, and your current environment in which it isn’t working?

Here are some issues I found. Think it applies to the ShareASale coupon plugin too. The issue was fixed though with some help. #1 “There was issue in Language filter. plugin checking with “en” as language and imported data has “English”. as language.” #2 “Plugin was importing whole bunch of data from CJ website. Due to that our database/wordpress was not able to handle all data at one time.”

DO NOT PURCHASE THIS PLUGIN. NOT WORKING. This plugin stopped working on my site several weeks ago also. I didn’t realize it had stopped importing coupons for a week or two. It has been 2 plus weeks since I reported the problem. Support has only responded with we will look at it.

Plugin was stopped working because of changes in CJ API and no new documentation provided.
We’ve finally found a way to make it work without API docs. Thanks to developer who spent a lot of time on experimenting with requests to their API and its responses.

Now, new version 1.5 has been released, fixed this issue and added ability to import coupon codes.
